Abstract

Among many aspects that make up the culture, history and memory of a nation, toponymy is very much neglected. Indeed, the in-depth study of the topic based on reliable data, regardless of the focus on one city or a sample of cities, opens new perspectives on contemporary society and its connection with the present and distant past. The use of digital tools makes the research updated, usable and replicable by all those who may be interested.
